Brake Pad Accessories
By using high-quality materials and tighter production standards, we ensure each component delivers better braking power, longer life, and a smoother driving experience. Below is what goes into our brake pads and why our customers trust our quality.
Made from Q235 low-carbon steel with a hardness of 120–180HB and a thickness of 5–5.5 mm. We control the flatness to 0.01 mm, giving you a strong, accurate back plate that ensures stable braking and reliable bonding.
This is the main working part of the brake pad. We offer ceramic, low-metallic, and semi-metallic material. Standard thickness is 15 mm, and our friction coefficient is set at 0.37 to deliver steady, dependable braking performance.
To keep braking quiet, we provide three shim options: stainless steel, linen finish, and rubber (including Trelleborg and Wolverine). These help reduce vibration and noise, giving drivers a smoother experience.
We also include all necessary accessories for installation, like sensor clip, screw, circlip, shrapnel, steel wire and sensor line, making your product easier to sell and more convenient for your customers.
Ceramic Brake Pad
Our ceramic brake pads are made with copper, zinc, and aluminum, with no steel fiber and less than 3% other metals. The density is 1.8–2.3 g/cm³, giving stable and clean performance. With imported resin and mineral fibers, the pads keep the disc clean, avoid noise, protect the rotor, and never rust. They offer smooth braking, quick response, and reliable insulation—quality you can trust for long-term use.

ceramic vs metallic brake pads
Ceramic brake pads focus on comfort and cleanliness, while metallic pads deliver stronger stopping power for demanding conditions. If you care more about smooth driving and low maintenance, ceramic is the better option; if you need durability under heavy loads, metallic is the way to go.
Low-Metallic Brake Pad
Our low-metallic brake pads contain 5–20% steel fiber with a density of 2.0–2.5 g/cm³, giving them strong and stable braking performance. We use high-quality mineral fibers to keep the brake disc from turning black, reduce noise, and prevent rust. The pads offer a comfortable pedal feel, quick braking response, and reliable insulation—making them a solid choice for buyers who want both performance and value.
Low-Metallic Brake Pads Pros and Cons
Pros
Stronger braking power – Higher metal content gives a sharper initial bite and confident stopping performance.
Better heat dissipation – Metal fibers release heat quickly, ideal for higher temperatures or heavier driving conditions.

How We Produces OE-Quality Brake Pads?
Strong manufacturing. Reliable performance. Consistent quality.
Material Selection & Formula Control
We start with carefully selected raw materials — high-quality fibers, stable friction modifiers, and premium resin binders. Each batch is weighed according to a fixed formula to ensure consistent braking performance, low dust, and long service life.
Precision Mixing
All materials are placed into high-speed mixers where they are blended until fully uniform. Stable mixing ensures the friction material has the right density, balance, and structure before forming.
Backing Plate Treatment
Backing plates are cleaned, shot-blasted, and coated with adhesive to create a strong bonding surface. This step prevents rust and guarantees that the friction material stays firmly attached during heavy braking.
Molding & Pressing
We use hot molding for all our brake pads. The friction material is pressed under high temperature and high pressure, allowing it to form and pre-cure at the same time.
This process gives the pads stable density, strong bonding, and consistent braking performance.
High-Temperature Curing
Semi-finished pads are placed into large curing ovens, where they undergo several hours of controlled heating. This step enables the resin to harden fully, providing the brake pad with strong wear resistance and stable friction levels.
Scorching Treatment
After curing, the pad surface is rapidly heated to remove gases and improve initial braking performance. This treatment helps reduce noise and shortens the bedding-in period for drivers.
Grinding, Chamfering & Slotting
Each pad is precisely ground to meet thickness requirements. Our CNC machines add chamfers and slots to reduce noise, release dust, and improve heat dissipation. This ensures better comfort and less brake vibration.
Shim, Clips & Hardware Assembly
Noise-reducing shims, clips, and wear indicators are installed according to each model’s requirements. We also apply anti-corrosion coatings to the steel back plates for a cleaner appearance and longer service life.
Strict Quality Control
Before packaging, every batch goes through:
- Dimensional and thickness measurements
- Bonding strength checks
- Hardness and density tests
- Visual inspection for cracks, uneven surfaces, or burrs
Marking & Packaging
Our brake pads are cleaned, laser-marked, and packed in strong export cartons. We support OEM brand packaging, small-order customization, and container mixed loading to help our partners save costs.
Shipping & Delivery
After final inspection and packaging, all brake pads are safely loaded for shipment. We work closely with reliable freight forwarders to ensure on-time delivery, whether by sea, air, or express.
